do_mysql fails to compile on OSX

Reported by Alex Coles | May 12th, 2008 @ 03:05 PM

Experiencing the following issue when trying to build do_mysql:

http://pastie.caboo.se/private/b...

My version of MySQL is as follows: 

mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for apple-darwin9.0.0 (i686) using  EditLine wrapper

I had previously experienced a similar error, which was solved by making sure the mysql/bin was in my $PATH.

I have tried installing with various options: 

sudo gem install pkg/do_mysql-0.9.0.gem  -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" rake compile -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

but to no avail.

    From the pastie: 

    
... -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64 
... have the same architectures (ppc7400) and can't be in the same fat output file

    It seems ruby is trying to create a universal binary when the mysql binaries are not universal?

    Can you confirm if the mysql installation is universal or just i686?

    • Title changed from “DO_mysql fails to compile on OS” to “do_mysql fails to compile on OS”

    The MySQL binaries I built are NOT universal.

    In fact, if I remember correctly, I followed the recipe over here: http://hivelogic.com/articles/20...

    As an update, I managed to get it installed with the following: 

    sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" rake install

    However, it fails with the previous error, if I just try to perform a compile: 

    sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" rake compile

    Alex,

    mkmf (called from extconf) is trying to use the flags used to build Ruby to build also the extension.

    So:

    Ruby: fat (universal)

    MySQL: i386 (no universal)

    do_mysql: fat (due mkmf params).

    I can't reproduce that (since I don't have a mac) but I can bet is a recipe for failure.

    Did you manually installed Ruby (bya macports or compiled by hand) instead of the one supplied by Apple?

    Ruby is the version bundled with OS X (1.8.6 patch 111), and is a UB: 

    /usr/bin/ruby: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O executable ppc
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture i386):	Mach-O executable i386

    My MySQL is i386, as you said.

    • State changed from “new” to “hold”

    It seems that this is no longer an issue, is this correct? I'll place this on hold for now.
